James 3
1 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
Vanyalukolo vango namungalondaghe mweni piiva vavulanes ndavule mukagwile kuuti usue twevavulanesi tulihighua kukila avenge.
2 For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, he [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.
Ulwakuva ttweni tusova munyinga. Nave umunhu naisova musino ijova, ujuo mugholofu, aliningufu isakughulongosia vunono um'bili ghwake ghwoni.
3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
Pano tukunga ikyuma ikigonde mumulomo ghwa falasi tulonda kuuti jikundaghe, mu uluo pe tukujilongosia kwooni kuno tughanile.
4 Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.
Ukagulaghe name ingalava imbaha fiijo, sighendesevua night mhepo imbaha, scope silongosevua nuvusukani uvudebe kuluuta kwoni kuno ilonda juno ilongosia.
5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
Fye lulivuo, ulumili nambe kilungo kidebe fiijo mu m'biili, lujova amasio agha kughinia fiijo. Lolagha akajejelufu aka mwoto vule kinyanya unsitu unkome fiijo!
6 and the tongue [is] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Ulumili lwope mwoto, vumemile uvuvivi vuno vuli papinga ulumili kilungo kimo mufilungo fyoni ifya mbiili, niki lupelela umunhu ghwoni kuuva muhosi. lunanginie kunyanja uvwumi vyonivyoni vwa muunhu ku mwoto ghuno naghusila lusiku. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;
Ifikanu fyooni ifya mulisoli, ifikano fino fikwafula fino fili nyanja ni njuni.
8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
Niki nakwale umunhu Juno ndapoonu idiima ulumili naludimika lupindile uvuhosi lumemile isumu jino jibuda.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.
Ulumili tukumughinikisia uNguluve nu Nhaata ghwiitu, Kane ulumili lululuo tuvombela kughunila avanhu vano vapelilue mu kihwani kyake.
10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
Mu mulomo ghumo ghihuma amasio agha kughinia na namasio agha kughuna. Vanyalukolo vango nalunoghile kuvomba uluo.
11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
Ndeponu ikindwivu kimono kihumia amalenga amanono na mavivi?
12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
Vanyalukolo vango asi unkuju ndeponu ghukomia amandima, nambe umfulisi ndaponu ghukoma amaguhu? Jeeje nambe ikindwiiivu ikya malenga ghano ghale nu mwinyo nakingahumie amalenga amasila mwinyo.
13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
Ghwe veeni pakate palyumue, unya vukagusi nu luhala? umuunhu ujuoujuo avonie amaghendele ghake amanofu ni mbombo sake inofu sino sivombeka nu vukola vuno vuhuma luhala lwake.
14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Nike nave mumemile ikivini na kukwilana mulekaghe kukughinia nambe kukwandula uvwakyang'ani kuuva vudesi.
15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
Uvukagusi ndavule uvuo navuhuma Kwan Nguluve looli vwaa mu iisi, vukagusi vwa vaanhu kange vuhuma kwa setano.
16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
Ulwakuva avaanhu pano vali ni kivini na kukwilana pe pano pweghale aamabatu nu vuhosi vuno vulipapinga.
17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
Looli vano vali nuvukagusi kuhuma kwa Nguluve, avuo avagholofu, vilonda ulutengano, vukoola nuvu kundi, vanyalusungu, kange vivomba imbombo inofu, navisalula umunhu nambe kuuva vakedusi.
18 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
Avaanhu vano visambania avenge, vinyala ulutengano luno lukuvapela uvugholofu.
